When a part-time advisor can outearn his full-time job, we want to know about it.
That’s exactly the case with Brian.
Brian was looking for a way to grow his income on the side.
He looked at many options but started to look into annuities.
At his firm, he saw how advisors were making money doing seminars and workshops on nights and weekends, then drove across town to close business.
But here’s the interesting part, as a CFP Brian worked with a lot of advisors at his RIA, but he didn’t like the idea of running seminars and workshops on evenings and weekends, then racing across town to turn prospects into clients.
Brian didn’t have the time to dedicate to that schedule. He had to find something more efficient.
If you could only work 10 to 15 hours a week, how would you more efficiently run your practice?
That’s a critical question advisor Brain had to answer when he became a part-time advisor.
Because Brian had a few things working against his favor…
- First, he had minimal annuity experience and expertise (Brian had never closed an annuity case before).
- Second, he had no time to run seminars and workshops.
- Third, he had no time to drive around town to meet with clients and close leads.
- Fourth, he had no leads or sales pipeline to get in front of high-quality annuity prospects.
- And fifth, he only had about 10 to 15 hours a week to dedicate to his practice.
Luckily, an advisor Brian worked with, introduced him to our flagship Annuity Gator marketing program as an easier way to get in front of high-quality prospects and close them with no in-person meetings.
Although Brian had a steep learning curve… he is now on track to writing $3M in annuity business in his first 9 months.
Brian, a full-time CFP at a large RIA, discovered the fastest way to build a part-time practice and produce a full-time income by working only 10-15 hours a week.
Brian is a perfect example of an advisor who plugged into the right marketing system and can now close business with no in-person meetings working only part-time.
And he wants to share how he did it with you.
Because in order for Brian to be successful he had to find:
- A way to close business without in-person meetings “virtually” from his home or office.
- A predictable system to get in front of high-quality annuity prospects on a consistent basis without doing workshops, dinner seminars, or interviews on TV or radio.
- Access to efficient tools and virtual sales training that allows him to deliver first-class service in the least amount of time.
- Access to other “virtual” advisors who were on the same path he could share ideas with to accelerate his success.
We want to dissect Brian’s practice and unpack all the time-saving ideas and systems that enable him to produce amazing results with only part-time effort.
Brian’s journey as a full-time CFP at a large RIA, and a part-time advisor is the topic of this Annuity Experts Show.
